Damn Yankees - Fifteen Minutes of Fame Lyrics

Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent



Young, rich and famous

What you want to be

You give it everything you got

But your sympathy

Been with everybody in the magazines

You know you're spinning so fast

That you're runing out of fantasies

What you want is

What you need is

Whata you're willing to be

It's so strange

You feel so insane

It's like--who's that talking to me

Here's your 15 minutes of fame

What you gonna give me

To ease the pain

When it's all over

Won't know your name

Here's your 15 minutes of fame

No satisfaction

Your simple creed

You know you pour in everyone you got

Just to fill the need

No doubt you're witness

To a major scene

But you better not lose your touch

Or you're history

What you want is

What you need is

What you're willing to be

It's so starange

You feel so insane

It's like--who's that talking to me

Here's your 15 minutes of fame

It's a risky business

It's a liar's game

Into the spotlight and out again

Come and get your 15

Your 15 minutes of fame

Here's your 15 minutes of fame

It's a risky business

It's a liar's game

Into the spotlight and out again

Come and get your 15

Your 15 minutes of fame
